United States charges against Huawei executive stem from 2013 - bail hearing

Those findings led the U.S.to launch a movement called Five Eyes, made up of the United States, Canada, the U.K., New Zealand, and Australia to monitor the Huawei situation, with Japan and Germany following along at home.

That was compounded by news that a top executive at Chinese telecoms giant Huawei had been arrested in Canada and faces extradition to the United States over allegations the firm had broken sanctions linked to Iran.

The governments of the UK, Australia and New Zealand have moved to prevent Huawei technology being used in their future 5G mobile phone networks, following a USA drive to stop its allies from purchasing from the company.

She is specifically accused of lying to U.S. banks about the use of a covert subsidiary to sell to Iran in breach of sanctions.

Gibb-Carsley told the hearing that Reutersreported in 2013 that Huawei was operating Skycom, triggering Huawei executives including Meng to allegedly make a series of misrepresentations.

American officials are attempting to prevent Meng Wanzhou from being bailed from a Canadian court after she was charged with conspiracy to defraud multiple financial institutions between 2009 and 2014. A spokesperson for the Department of Justice Canada told Daily Hive Meng is being sought for extradition by the United States. They also argued that Iranian sanctions are complex and SkyCom's civilian telecommunications equipment sales likely weren't in violation of any rules.

CNN, quoting an unnamed official, said the United States saw the arrest as providing leverage in US-China trade talks - although White House trade advisor Peter Navarro has denied any link to the dialogue.

He said his client would not flee because going against a court order would humiliate and embarrass her father, Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei.

Meng was arrested in Vancouver on 1 December and appeared in one of the city's courts on Friday, where prosecutor John Gibb-Carsley asked the judge to deny her application for bail.

Officials from major USA companies who attended the event - a scheduled meeting of the local chapter of the U.S. department of state's Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) - voiced their concerns about a Chinese reprisal, two people with knowledge of the meeting said. She conferred with her two lawyers through a translator. Moreover, US authorities believe that Huawei's top managers began avoiding travel to the US around April 2017 after becoming aware of the US criminal probe.

The U.S. sees Huawei and smaller Chinese tech suppliers as possible fronts for Chinese spying and as commercial competitors.

Priscilla Moriuchi, a former East Asia specialist at National Security Agency and now with the cybersecurity firm Recorded Future, said both Huawei and its biggest Chinese rival, ZTE Corp., are wedded to China's military and political leadership.

Meng was arrested while changing planes in Vancouver.

Meng, who also goes by the first name Sabrina, is one of four deputy chairs listed on the Huawei website and one of three women to sit on the Huawei board.

"These are organizations, ultimately tightly tied to the Chinese security apparatus, and we think there are some real, serious issues there", said Harper.
